I just sent Sarah back to school today after 6 days down. She seems to have made it through the day, which is great. However, Caleb called me about an hour ago and said, "Come get me... I'm sick." *sigh* He's running a fever and has a massive headache. *sigh again*

OUCH!!! I guess this is the one of the shared ?joys? of a large family with 4 different classrooms to get germs from.
It sure makes a difference to us to not have kids around all the time. Mont is the one who usually brings home germs from work. Some how the Lord seesm to protect me at the nursing homes.
Ugh. Sorry Darc. Sorry Caleb.
Here is a note of encouragement -haha - Darcy. I missed 4-5 weeks of school IN A ROW in 2nd or 3rd grade. The details have become a bit dim, but both of my sisters and I played tag with the chicken pox, then after or before my chicken pox I got scarlet fever. My poor Mom didn't get out of the house for weeks. I can vaguely remember how strange I felt going back to school again.
I bet your Mom was thrilled when you went back to school again!
Being of a young age I thought nothing about her feelings.
YIKES! What did the Dr. say, Darcy?! - His having that staph infection in his ear (his HEAD!) "concerns" me! He could need a different RX, asap!
Signed, his just-home-from-the- coast-&-praying-yet-Gramma
PS. I "only" had a 3wk stint of housebound-with-sick-family-members-itis & was indeed "bonkers" with it!
First I had been 24 hr. nursing our sick, supposedly recovering (from surgery)" cat, "Tuffy" who died on the hallway floor right in front of me(!), when Darc came down with a BAD case of Chicken Pox!
I THINK, however, that may have been when I first experienced a faith building, Miracle answer to prayer! - You see Darc looked and felt SO "bad", that then 3 yrs old "worried" Nathan would NOT leave her side! I couldn't get him to stay away from her! - He just sweetly, quietly sat RIGHT beside her, rarely saying a word! Realizing that I now faced another 2-3 wks of this, I earnestly prayed a REAL, FROM MY HEART prayer that SOME how he'd miss catching Chicken Pox, but instead would get them later at another date when I could handle it - I had had as much as I could take! - And PTL, that is exactly what happened! - He caught them 3-4 YEARS LATER, from an unknown to us source, likely at school! He had a lighter but "sufficient" to not be mistaken for "mosquito bites" case, when I was able to deal with it!
ARRGG yet LOL!! - The Lord must think it ridiculous that I am now "fretting" over Caleb!!

Caleb is fine today. He went off to school eager for his intermural hockey championship game.
His mother, however, is not feeling so well...
Oh dear.
Poor Mama "D", now too! (More prayer there!) How're you doing?
Regardless, Dad & I would like to come down late Thursday am to see K, C & Heath "EVERYone" else who is available too! :-), although we'd have to leave by 5p (I have once monthly an evening group at 6:30p.), Hope this will work out with you - if you have taken your day off, Kyle, I'd even get to "help out" ! :-) I have to work Tuesday afternoon & Dad has an eye appt. Wed. or I'd toss those in as options, as well. Oh yes! - Teresa is/was going to contact you re possibilities for an "everybody" get together although their weekend "cup" was QUITE full already. I mentioned meeting somewhere if that would help out & depending on the doings, maybe we could "borrow" which kids of theirs were available if not all could make it. I NEED to know asap to see if Travis will trade for me, however! (It is REALLY late to ask him, "but"! SO tickled about seeing PETRIES ALL and SOON, too! YIPPEE!! mc
